Hi Joseph...I Love riddles, as long as they're not wrapped in enigma and encased in mystery.
Lets' see...urban/city street setting, looks western judging by how the guy on the sidewalk in the background is dressed but I could be wrong there and it's in the North of the Asian subcontinent judging by the tour sign, South Asian woman emptying out garbage onto the sidewalk, two black and white dogs rooting through the garbage, and a brown and white dog looking on from the side frame at what's going on. Yup entirely appropriate...but beautiful ? In that the picture is an honest portrayal of life, yes. But beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.
cheers !....flow....
